Sixth Generation

There is apparently some confusion concerning this daughter's name. She is listed in the 1850 census as Armelia. The following deed has Mary Jane - is it possible this is not the same lady at all? In 1860 and 1880 she was again listed as Amelia - apparently there was an error in the deed as written.

There is a deed from Joshua and Polly Mabry to Joseph C. and Mary Jane [?Amelia] Thompson on 19 Sep 1845, Carroll Co DB 4, p.20, 19 Sep 1845. 74 acres on Adams Branch in Carroll Co. Then on 21 Apr 1853, DB 4, p.21, is a deed from Polly Mabry, widow of Joshua G. Mabry, relinquishing her dower right to the above. The conclusion has been drawn that Amelia/Mary Jane and her husband were to have taken care of Joshua & Polly in exchange for this land - I don't know that this is so. Perhaps this was Mary Jane's share in Joshua's estate. This land was on Adams Branch in Carroll Co. - Adams Branch is nearly on the Caroll/Floyd Co Line and runs into Burks Fork.
